The honorable education minister and boss mustapha prefers livestock to education. When the people that sees education as haram are in power, that’s what you get.

Btw, OBO P.J chilling with his goons is on another level.
What’s some people’s problem with children from wealthy background? Did davido’s Father pay you before you know him? Ikechukwu, naeto c, Bred, DJ Cuppy are all from rich homes, why can’t they all compete on the same level? Is buying songs from someone else not part of music? Don’t give in to poverty. I pray you become wealthy and I’m sure you wouldn’t expect less from your children.

When I say this election is so easy for Ize iyamu, he's a grassroot politician that speaks Benin, marry to Benin woman not Igbo and live his life in Benin. He's ours.

Your paternity ish or legitimacy is absolutely your business.
ibibiofirstlady: A former secretary to government of Ondo state, Mr Ifedayo Abegunde, has described a statement credited to him that the last governorship election in Ondo state was won by Mr Eyitayo Jegede of Peoples Democratic Party, but rigged in favor of Mr Rotimi Akeredolu of All Progressive Congress.
He made the denial through a press statement as seen below;
PRESS STATEMENT
The attention of the immediate past secretary to the Ondo state government, Hon Ifedayo Sunday Abegunde has been drawn to a story circulating on the social media, which was purportedly published by one NigerianConcord.com.ng where it was stated that Hon Ifedayo Abegunde stated that the Peoples Democratic party PDP won the 2016 governorship election in Ondo state.He was reported to have said this in an interview granted to crest FM in Akure.
This is a despirate attempt by mischievous elements to rewrite facts.
It is a known fact, that the one and only time the Peoples Democratic party PDP won a governorship election in the state was in 2003.
Although he granted an interview to Crest FM this morning,he did not declear the Peoples Democratic party, PDP the winner of the October 2016 election in Ondo state.
The 2016 election was won by the All Progressive Congress emphatically and beyond any reasonable doubt.
While this unprofessional report could have been ignored, it is also necessary to correct this error so as not to give those who have become consistent losers a false sense of fulfilment.
representing Denge-shuni/Bodinga/Tureta federal constituency, Dr. Shehu Balarabe Kakale From his name to his constituency name you see confusion. You are not incorporating it into western education but you want them to be computer literate. We don see bills for this administration.

Shows you the cluelessness of our leaders. They don’t even know anything about what is happening, they just stay glued to the cnn with their pen and paper to copy what they are doing.nothing lasts forever,their time too shall pass
It can only happen in Nigeria. Daft people coming out to boast of committing a punishable offense and some will still celebrate them. In a sane clime, this one is a goner already and will provide his co-pillars/riggers. Imagine the thief , he’s the ssg yet he wants to have the state’s treasury in his pocket. Why not tell them to change the name of the state to your family name. Buffoon.

The most confused man award should go to this boss. Every time he keeps shouting the curve is on the rise, this is the best time to lock down but his report is always showing relief by gradual easing of lockdown. I don’t blame you.

The Demystification of Tinubu Continues
On the last day in May 2019, the news came like a bombshell. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that it had concluded its investigation into the activities of Oando Plc and found its management culpable.
The SEC further announced that it was unilaterally ordering Oando's Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Wale Tinubu, his deputy, Mr. Omamofe Boyo and other identified board members to resign and directed that an Extra-Ordinary General Meeting be convened to appoint new directors, on or before July 1, 2019.
Earth shattering. Ground breaking. A bombshell. Ordinarily, these teens are used as exaggerations. But on this occasion, they could even be said to be understatements.
But what is happening here? As the late Afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti, sang in his song Overtake Don Overtake Overtake (ODOO), 'people wey no know they happy, people wey know them dey look'. (Could that be where the late Bola Ige got the idea for his siddon look brand of politics?).
The truth is that on this issue, there is much more to what is happening than meets the eye. Much, much more.
You see, the Cabal are using Nasir El-Rufai to clip Bola Tinubu’s wings politically, and now they have moved on to the next stage: clipping his financial wings through the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Many people do not know that the relationship between Bola Tinubu and his nephew, Wale Tinubu of Oando goes beyond just familial dealings. It runs much deeper.
For instance, it is Wale Tinubu that introduced Babatunde Raji Fashola to his uncle, Bola Tinubu, eventually paving the way for Fashola to become his Chief of Staff whole he (Bola Tinubu) was Governor of Lagos, and ultimately to make him (Fashola) his successor. The bond between Bola abs Wale runs deep!
Perhaps it is a coincidence that Wale Tinubu's burgeoning company, Ocean and Oil, suddenly acquired the Federal Government's shares in Unipetrol in 2000, just a year after his uncle became governor. And perhaps it is not a coincidence. You do the math!
Those who think it is a coincidence that Nasir El-Rufai flippantly unleashed his salvo against Tinubu three weeks ago on May 4, 2019 and the Securities and Exchange Commission moved against Oando on the last day of May, need to do a little digging. I will help them.
Nasir El-Rufai and Oando have history together. Very long and deep history. You see, Nasir El-Rufai was the Director General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises when Wale Tinubu acquired Unipetrol's shares.
I am a researcher and a very meticulous record keeper. I interview people and keep meticulous records because Nigeria is a dog eat dog dirks and you need to protect yourself if you are involved in Nigerian politics and as far as I am concerned, the pen is mightier than the sword. Hence I keep records.
I interviewed a personnel of the Bureau of Public Enterprises who was present when Wale Tinubu and Eyimofe Boyo acquired Unipetrol.
The fact is that the duo initially came to acquire a hotel according to apocryphal information, sources from the highest levels of the BPE.
Nasir El-Rufai, according to my source, then asked Tinubu and Boyo why they would want to acquire a hotel when they are in oil and gas.
He encouraged them to bid for one of the oil companies then. They had not thought of that because they felt those things were for the big players who had godfathers (back then, Tinubu was not the Jagaban that he is today).
Well, to cut a long story short, the duo went back to their den and repackaged themselves, and to use a cliche, the rest is history.
I am adept at spotting patterns. As Bishop TD Jakes once said, 'nothing just happens'. If you are not able to spot patterns, you will be so clueless in politics until the day that your enemies will shave your head in your absence (apologies to Chief MKO Abiola).
The fact that Nasir El-Rufai unleashed his salvo three weeks ago, in Lagos, and then this recent move by the Securities and Exchange Commission on a company that is only one degree separated from both El-Rufai and Tinubu, cannot be a coincidence. Not at all.
I will keep exposing these patterns. Unfortunately for these bloodsucking vampires who are retarding Nigeria's growth, I am not within reach, like Dele Giwa, so the only Letter Bomb they can send to me are spiritual and my God is able to make every weapon formed or fashioned against me fall to the ground.
The move against Oando is Act 2, Scene 1, in a Machiavellian plot involving the Fulani intelligentsia against ab errant Yoruba warlord. It is the tragedy of Alimi and Afonja all over again. Sadly, someone is repeating history because he does not realise that the devil has no new tricks. What he does is what he has always done since he started his mischief making from the Garden of Eden.
Bola Tinubu has been caught in an old South Indian Monkey Trap!
In Robert Pirsig's seminal book, 'Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance', the author describes how Indians catch a monkey using an ancient Monkey Trap.
According to Pirsig, the trap “consists of a hollowed-out coconut, chained to a stake. The coconut has some rice inside which can be grabbed through a small hole”. The monkey’s hand fits through the hole, but his clenched fist can’t fit back out. “The monkey is suddenly trapped.”
The Fulani intelligentsia (which I greatly admire) trapped Bola Tinubu in their Monkey Trap by giving him the promise of a future impossible or possible Presidency. As long as Bola Tinubu's fist is clenched on that promise, he can never escape the trap. He will stay there and allow himself be subjected to whatever disgrace and insult his trappers choose to mete our on him. Sadly, he is a victim of his own inordinate lust for power.
This is the same thing that another branch of the Fulani intelligentsia did in the banking sector using the then Governor of the Central Bank if Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (who is now getting his own comeuppance) to upend those they felt had grown wings by becoming too big for their breeches.
For the above, I refer my readers to Mrs. Cecilia Ibru's recent interview on the above subject matter (Sanusi persecuted me as he thought I wanted his job at CBN – Cecilia Ibru, Punch Newspapers, May 11, 2019).
The problem with Southern Nigeria, and specifically, people like Bola Tinubu, and Samuel Ladoke Akintola Before Him, is that, while the North preserved and still uses the leadership ethos they learnt from theirs leaders, such as Shehu Uthman Dan Fodio (one of my mentors) and Sardauna Ahmadu Bello (another mentor of mine), Southerners on the other hand have jettisoned the wisdom of their own sages, like Obafemi Awolowo, Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther, and yes, Olusegun Obasanjo.
That is why we keep repeating history and instead of accepting responsibility for this, we prefer to blame history of repeating itself.
Renerd: What can I study with this result.(pics attached below).
Actually, while in school I know what I was doing, I did take those subject for the purpose of studying medicine, because I love it so I purposely drop anything relating to engineering.
But after my secondary education, I had no opportunity to further my education ( being an orphan), therefore I took to hustling, and after some year, I'm now preparing to further my education. But I discovered that i cannot continue with medicine, due to the nature of my work, I won't be opportune to combine the stress of my job with the demands of studying medicine, so I am thinking of diverting.
But the problem involved is that, my result is only good for medicine, and can't be use for engineering, considering jamb requirements, therefore educationalist in the house, what course do you suggest I go for, with this result apart from medicine. (picture attached below)
Fynestboi, richiez, pls help include in featured post
What do you like yourself? Which subject interests you most in your secondary school days that you are sure that tilting towards any course like that, you will come out with nothing less than 2:1? Because personally, I have stopped judging students based on their SSCE results for some years now, when special centers has almost turned legit. So, list the subjects you know you always look forward to take and flex muscle on in secondary school, list the courses that are in that line, be realistic either prospect of the courses in the labor market considering the digital age, then choose the one you rate most. The reason for my advice: if you go for what you are good in and have good results, there are still good jobs out there and you don’t necessarily need connections if you are loaded and holding a good result. It is still working if you see the possibility
Obamaofusa: A team of Nigerian scientists has announced the discovery of coronavirus vaccine after having validated the prototype “several times.”
A local media report officially announced the discovery of the COVID-19 vaccine by a group led by lead researcher Dr. Oladipo Kolawole.
Kolawole and Prof. Julius Oloke, the Head of the Coordinating Unit of the Research Group told reporters at Adeleke University in Nigeria's Eda that the vaccine has been validated several times and therefore, it will work and cannot be faked. Even though it has been designed to target the African population, Kolawole says that it will work for other races as well.
“ The vaccine is real. We have validated it severally. It is targeted at Africans, but will also work for other races,” said Oloke. “It will work. It cannot be faked. This is a result of the determination. It took a lot of scientific efforts.
According to the original report published, the Trinity Immunodeficient Laboratory and Helix Biogen Consult, Ogbomosho, funded the initial study on which the vaccine is based. The study was provided financial support of about 7.8 million Nigerian nairas, which is approximately equivalent to $20,000.
Kolawole revealed how his team collected samples from different parts of Africa and worked rigorously on the genome of the virus to select the best candidates for the coronavirus vaccine.
He did not reveal the name of the vaccine but said that the team has worked on the possible latent vaccine constructs. Due to the volume of research and analysis required as well as the time it takes to seek regulatory approvals, the vaccine is expected to be available to widespread use in about 18 months.
“ We are glad that a vaccine that will provide a solution to a global problem like Coronavirus pandemic is coming from the garden,” said Prof. Solomon Adebola, the Acting Vice-Chancellor at Adeleke University.
“ It is our passion to be a solution provider to such a global pandemic, and we are ready to throw our weights behind the team and make the vaccine a reality.”
At the moment, more than 10 COVID-19 vaccine candidates are being tested as a part of human trials around the world.
I hope to see a Nigerian governor that complete his four years and will decide to leave office.whom will not care to beg or role in the mud with godfathers because of second term.
Haaaaaaa... they should just stop giving this administration loan o. All they know is 670 million daily meal for school children that are not in school. Now this is going to last the children 4months and 1 week now.
Racoon: Imagine Oshiomole of the good old labour days have today become the monster Capone.The labour days khaki wearing was just a grand deception.I only have respect for the days of late Micheal Imodu, Pascal Baful
It baffles me when people think Oshiomhole has the interest of the masses. I says it to whoever cares to listen, the man has lost his place in my good book since his days in NLC. He will declare strike in Benin or Abuja all for you to hear on the news in the next five days that “comrade from UK/USA has called on labor to suspend strike. He would never be around while suspending after holding the government to ransom. The short man pushed Obasanjo to sign some bills into law that places the civil servants in a tight condition and at the mercy of government. So I have never been surprised whenever he comes up with any controversial issue when he joined APC he has never for once had interest of anybody be it party or country or even his employer, his just a businessman.
segebase: all these imam n pastors don't care about there members
You think so? If they don’t care, who are they presiding over? It is the government that should stop pretending like they care. They should genuinely access and evaluate the situation on ground and come up with our own solution not borrowing what they see abroad. Those they are copying evaluated the situation based on their terrain and care up with what will work in their land, we should also make policies that fits and will work in our land. The market that’s opened, are those people mentioned above not going there? They should just stop pretending like they know what they are doing and consult the right people.
Tranquillity360: From my finding,yoruba muslims are more hateful than yoruba christians.
You may have gotten your informations from the wrong quarters, you need to relaunch your research and you will find out that, yorubas has been co-existing peacefully irrespective of their religion. In fact, they all respect and celebrate their religious festivals without issues. But as a Yoruba adage would say “ if a household is peaceful, you should know that the illegitimate/bastard child is yet to mature” that’s the case of Akintola.
I hope people will know by now that this guy is an empty barrel and a tool for disruption. In the wake of Covid-19 heat, no one heard him, people were donating, he was nowhere to be found, palliative issues, his voice was seized but if to constitute nuisance, he buys new pen. No wonder we have not seen any Muslim group identifying with him.
[quote author=MinorityOpinion post=89348934]Well said but never say never. First, we have gone past the time of civil war and people are well informed that those days. Secondly, we have countries spread across the dessert in Africa and they are not even close to the easterners industriousness and they are still sustaining themselves. So, if they are allowed to go, I believe time and chance will play it’s part and they may be lucky to put the best measure of stability in place.
MinorityOpinion: Old Eastern economy is living in glory past. Unless igbos will leave trading and go back to agriculture.
What are they manufacturing? Goods coming in for China and they slap Eastern company name on it. Still that wouldn't balance your import because you're not exporting it outside Nigeria after importing the materials from outside Nigeria.
Listen to the rant and rambling of kanu? Thank you.
Bro, I like they way you approach the topic, u b senior man.
If the old eastern economy could be a thing of the past, then the killings, maimings and the relationship of the civil war era could also be a thing of the past.
